Twin Peaks is an American television serial drama created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. It follows an investigation headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Its pilot episode was first broadcast on April 8, 1990, on ABC. Seven more episodes were produced, and the series was renewed for a second season that aired until June 10, 1991. The show's title comes from the small, fictional Washington town in which it is set.
On the morning of February 24, in the town of Twin Peaks, Washington, logger Pete Martell (Jack Nance) discovers a naked corpse tightly wrapped in a sheet of clear plastic on the bank of a river. When Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), his deputies, and Dr. Will Hayward (Warren Frost) arrive on the scene, the body is identified as homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). The news of her death spreads rapidly among the town's residents, particularly Laura's family and friends. A badly injured second girl, Ronette Pulaski, is found across the state line walking along the railroad tracks in a fugue state. Because Ronette was discovered across the state line, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is called in to investigate. Cooper's initial examination of Laura's body reveals a tiny typed letter "R" inserted under her fingernail. Cooper informs the community that Laura's death matches the signature of a killer who murdered another girl in southwestern Washington the previous year, and that evidence indicates the killer lives in Twin Peaks.
Twin Peaks became one of the top-rated shows of 1990 and was a critical success both nationally and internationally. It captured a devoted cult fan base and became a part of popular culture that has been referenced in television shows, commercials, comic books, video games, films and song lyrics. Declining viewer ratings led to ABC's insistence that the identity of Laura's murderer be revealed midway through the second season. The series was followed by a 1992 feature film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which serves as both a prequel and an epilogue to the television series.
The pilot episode was ranked No. 25 on TV Guide‍ '​s 1997 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. The series was ranked No. 45 on TV Guide‍ '​s 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time in 2002, and it was included in its 2013 list of 60 shows that were "Cancelled Too Soon." Twin Peaks was listed as one of Time‍ '​s "Best TV Shows of All-TIME" in 2007, and it placed No. 49 on Entertainment Weekly‍‍ '​‍s "New TV Classics" list and No. 12 in their list of the "25 Best Cult TV Shows from the Past 25 Years."
As with much of Lynch's other work, notably Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks explores the gulf between the veneer of small-town respectability and the seedier layers of life lurking beneath it. As the series progresses, the inner darkness of characters who initially appeared innocent is revealed, and they are seen to lead double lives. Twin Peaks is consistent with Lynch's work as a whole in that it is not easily placed within an established genre. Its unsettling tone and supernatural features are consistent with horror films. However, its campy, melodramatic portrayal of quirky characters engaged in morally dubious activities reflects a bizarrely comical parody of American soap operas. Like the rest of Lynch's work, the show represents an earnest moral inquiry distinguished by both offbeat humor and a deep vein of surrealism.
In October 2014, it was announced that the series will return for a nine-episode limited series to air in 2016 on Showtime. All episodes are written by creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, and several original cast members will return including Kyle MacLachlan as Special Agent Dale Cooper.
In fall 1989, composer Angelo Badalamenti and Lynch created the score for the show. In 20 minutes they produced the signature theme for the series. Badalamenti called it the "Love Theme From Twin Peaks." Lynch told him, "You just wrote 75% of the score. It's the mood of the whole piece. It is Twin Peaks". While creating the score, Lynch often described the moods or emotions he wanted the music to evoke, and Badalamenti began to play the piano.
In July 2013, it was revealed that a Blu-ray version of the complete series would be released.[80] In January 2014, Lynch confirmed the Blu-ray release and that it would contain the pilot, season 1, season 2, and new special features, and possibly the film. It was announced on May 15, 2014, that the Blu-ray of the complete series of Twin Peaks and the film containing over 90 minutes of deleted scenes would be released on July 29, 2014.

After wandering out the world for over half a year, I returned to my homeland - Hong Kong.
< Homecoming > is a simple video to express my sentiment for leaving home almost a year long ... missing this city and eventually I got myself back... however it was very soon to say goodbye again, taking off to keep wandering out.
It only lasted for 28 days during this time in HK and now I come back to the UK and slaving for a new chapter of my life.. which drove me even more emotional while editing this video for missing my hometown.
MUSIC : Hoppípolla - Sigur Rós
( It's a turnaround as I used my good friends Chih Leung & Tony Leung Chung Hin 's Bands Music for my last ICELAND travel video, this time I used the great ICELANDIC band music :Sigur Rós for this Hong Kong Video, thanks to Chih for the music recommendation again smile emoticon )
VOCAL : Candy Mok (my dearest niece, who sent me that Voice Message when I just left Hong Kong for the 1st month)
And Thank you Sony Hong Kong for giving me the ticket setting up a nice spot for seeing such an excellent fireworks as a shimmering end of this video.
Also to my good friend Dicky Lau who came up with such a impulsive idea to get up to the top of the highest hill of HK, for hunting the Cloud of Sea in the early morning at 6am, with all the struggling and hesitation for retreating from the terrible weather and strong humidity during that midnight, but we held on and rewarded for those images.
There are also some hidden characters in this clip, thanks for allowing me shooting the footages of your guys as part of this story : Sze Pang / 亮瑜 of Franco Chan & Stephanie Chai / Mosqui Chau / Ohjenni Chien , and those unknown Hong Kong citizens.

This is the video of Steffen coming back from his mission. I was lucky to land around the same time and so got to be with him and film him coming back. As you can see from his reaction he did not know I was there either.
Enjoy and great to have him back.
